I wonder where all those self-proclaimed free speech warriors are for this one.
It's been proposed that professing support for a banned group, even if you're not encouraging others to support them, should be made a crime.

By banned group he means ISIS and the like by the way.

Jesus wept.

I think you'll find most free-speech advocates draw the line at clear and obvious threats to life.

You monumental dipstick.

I believe in free speech, but only to a point.

The utter stupidity of some people on Twitter and the news websites commenting on this Mandarin Oriental fire today would have led them to the gallows had I been in charge of the country.

Publicly supporting ISIS terrorists is a threat to pretty much all life.

Are you intentionally missing the point or are you genuinely dense?

I think it's you who is missing the point, and you're doing it quite accidentally.

Perhaps you should of just said you didn't understand my comment.
Or that you were offended by it.
